My new home!!
So, as some of you know I've been searching for homes left and right. I had a house already but I cancelled escrow because it appraised $20K lower than selling price and they wouldnt match.
I finally found this one and its been rough. I put in the offer and someone else did to. They won the contract, fell through and bank called me and I said yes! and right before contract was signed someone else put in a higher offer and got it. They fell through and it was offered to me again but this time I'm putting a bigger down payment and offered more. I got it!
I got the contract started and escrow is starting already :] So as long as escrow goes ok I will be coming home from middle east to my first home and will get on furnishing it and doing some granite upgrades.
Basic info on the house:
Location: Victorville, Ca (Eagle Ranch Planned Community)
Square ft: 2,750 square/feet living spare
Lot size: 9,000 square feet
Bedrooms: 5
Bath: 3
Garage: 3 car
Levels: 2 story
Master Suite w/ second fireplace/office and sitting area
Formal Living room w/ Cathedral ceilings
Formal dining room
Family room w/ fireplace
*in ground heated pool
*in ground Spa
*Gazebo Area
*Grass yard
I will be doing lots of upgrades to the kitchen yard of course a full service of the pool as soon as I get back.
**Wish me luck on closing escrow :]
Now to the pics!

lol, yes peter...all the way out there. For me its not a problem cause our companies flight facilities are based in the desert so its only a short commute to work for me. I always come down to cerritos/lakewood on weekends though cause my parents have a house there.
If this goes well I will be having a housewarming when I get back and of course FF will be invited :]

yeah I do still have the Fit. I did post it for sale but since I'm getting this house I'm most likely keeping the Fit. I can easily afford the house and M3 I want but I think it would be a smarter move to build my savings back up cause I'm gonna spend about $55K in downpayment and furnishing.
I got this house for under $200K
I got one hell of a deal and had to jump on it.

what are your plans for the kitchen? if you want some granite/marble for the counter tops i have some that i'm trying to get rid of. i can sell you it for a cheap price. you'd just have to find someone to do the labor for install.
